The network environment is complex and it is difficult to guarantee 100% online rate. Webmasters, network administrators, corporate website administrators, etc. need to automatically monitor. Network monitoring is as important to webmasters and network administrators as domain name, IP, space, server, etc. It needs to be built before you build the network. This needs to be taken into consideration, so we recommend that every website and every server be under automatic monitoring.
1. Network vulnerability
Webmasters who have a website or server do not want their website or server to be inaccessible due to various reasons. The network situation is complex and it is difficult to guarantee 100% online 24/7. The main causes of failure are:
1. The website is hacked. Once a website has loopholes, it is common for it to be hacked.
2. The website code is wrong, the database is wrong, the website takes up too much CPU, the space is full, or the space expires.
3. Domain name resolution error and domain name expired.
4. The website or server is shut down or the IP is blocked due to harmful information, filing, etc.
5. The website or server is attacked. If the website or network segment of the same server is attacked, it will also affect Chiyu.
6. The server fails or requires maintenance.
7. The network operator's lines are faulty, especially the north-south interconnection.
Many failures are irregular and unpredictable. Even the most diligent webmaster and network administrator cannot refresh the web page and ping the server 24 hours a day. Naturally, automated monitoring services are needed.
2. There are two types of automatic monitoring
1. Automatic monitoring software installed on your own computer or server. The webmaster needs to install monitoring software on his own computer, and the network administrator needs to install it on a server in the LAN.
Advantages: independent installation, independent management, flexibility and convenience, and very high frequency of monitoring.
Disadvantages: The webmaster must ensure that the computer is online 24 hours a day, and that it is stable and does not crash. He also has to bear the electricity bill of turning it on 24 hours a day. Not all webmasters have this condition; the network management monitors through the LAN, which is fast and stable, but cannot monitor Inability to access the external network; lack of viewing and management interface through the Internet.
2. Apply for online automatic monitoring, which means monitoring through monitoring services provided by other companies.
Advantages: Easy to use, log in to the website, register as a member, and then fill in the domain name or IP to be monitored and you can use it. No complicated installation process is required; no computer or server is required to configure, which reduces operating costs; configuration and viewing can be completed through the Internet monitor.
Disadvantages: The monitoring frequency and functions are generally not as strong as those of monitoring software.
Online automatic monitoring is suitable for most webmaster network management. Even if automatic monitoring software has been installed, online monitoring can be used as a backup and supplement.
3. Suitable objects for online automatic monitoring
1. Webmasters: Especially webmasters who start businesses and make money online through websites. Webmasters work day and night to maintain the website, trying to get multiple IP access and Baidu ranking improvement. Once the website cannot be accessed due to various reasons, it will cause Consequences such as loss of customers and website being demoted by search engines will cause a serious blow to webmasters.
2. Companies and individuals who help customers build and maintain websites: Although it is not their own website, if there is a problem with the website and they don’t know anything about it, and they even know that the website cannot be accessed later than your customer, will he continue to use your service? .
3. Your own company's website: Although the website cannot be accessed for a short period of time, it will not cause much damage, but you must know when it cannot be accessed. Online monitoring reports can reflect the stability of your network provider and will definitely be helpful for you to evaluate whether to continue using it.
4. Network management: Network management is most afraid of network problems. Once the network fails, the phone will definitely ring non-stop. The network administrator needs to receive the alarm as soon as possible and fix the fault before more customers know about it.
4. Problems that online automatic monitoring can solve for you
1. 7×24-hour automatic monitoring, there will never be any slack in work.
2. It is simple and convenient to use, and your website server will be under strict monitoring in just a few minutes. And can be managed via the Internet.
3. Automatically send out fault alarms, and you will be informed of faults as soon as possible when you are eating, shopping, traveling, etc. When you do not receive an alarm notification, you feel relaxed and worry-free because the website server is running happily and normally.
4. Able to gain as much time as possible to resolve faults. It's okay to have a malfunction, but don't let your customers know about it. Even if you do, try to let the fewest customers know about it. Therefore, when a fault occurs, it is necessary to race against time to solve it. If you don't even know that a fault has occurred and wait for an angry customer to trouble you before you solve it, how much valuable time and your credibility will be wasted.
5. You can roughly know the fault status through fault alarms. For example, if it only returns the error that the web page cannot be accessed, but does not return the alarm that Ping cannot be reached, you know that the network is open and the server is online, so you don’t need to be very anxious; if you receive Ping failure, If there is an alarm, you should deal with it urgently.
6. Detailed performance monitoring records, such as web page access time, connection port time, Ping return delay, etc., are very helpful for evaluating server performance and network speed.
As mentioned above, network monitoring is as important to webmasters and network managers as domain name, IP, space, server, etc. It needs to be taken into consideration when you build the network, so we recommend that every website and every server should be in automatic mode. Under monitoring.
